I'd stay for 3 busy seasons (senior 1), unless you're looking to pivot to a different service line, etc. In which case, look now.

That’s very true

Up, never leave for lower

Agree

Yeah 401k match in public isn’t as great as industry

I won’t have any problem meeting my hourly so I’m starting to think I’m being underpaid. I’ve been reading on here that not meeting
